Anorexics actually harm themselves with anorexia, and a lot of times, do so while aiming at a goal that is unrealistic or impossible.
Also, don't sex change operations exist? Safe ones?
Men don't have to be masculine to be male. They can still identify themselves as a male.
Females don't have to be feminine to be female. They can still identify themselves as a female.
I hate, just hate, the way some people decide that a male or a female must act in certain ways due to their genitals. It doesn't work that way. No, I'm not aiming that specifically at you.
Some females identify themselves as male. It doesn't matter is that person is masculine or feminine. They still identify themselves as a male. If you switch around the genders in that statement, it's still true.
Maybe in some cases the circumstances are weird and the person could be twisted because of this, but I don't think it is an absolutely harmful thing, like the way anorexia is definitively harmful.
So, gender and the like is really complicated and confusing. The end.

That's what I'm saying-

If a man doesn't have to act masculine to be male, and a woman doesn't have to act feminine to be female, then why does a woman have to identify as male when they can do all the exact same things a "male" does?

If you take away stereotypical gender definitions, identifying yourself as one or the other is pointless?

Then it comes down to trying to get the opposite gender's body, which is very difficult? And with other people who try to get a body completely different from the one they were born with (people who cut their tongues to be like a snake, etc etc) we say "man that's completely crazy" ...so I don't get this leniency with people who want their opposite gender's body, either.
